Current Exhibit

June 2019 Exhibit

The Blairstown Museum’s exhibits are more than just a display of artifacts – the pieces housed within our walls convey the story of the Blairstown experience. Both diverse and unique, they prompt us to think critically and challenge our conceptions of the Greater Blairstown Area and the people who lived here.

Our permanent and rotating exhibits serve great purpose in the community. Carefully researched and impeccably presented, our themed exhibitions provide some of the best opportunities to connect with our history.

Here is what you’ll see at The Blairstown Museum right now: » John Insley Blair : Poverty to Philanthropy» Blair Presbyterial Academy : The Three Johns» Antoine Dutot : Father of the Resort Industry » Movie : Abe Lincoln in Illinois

The Blairstown Museum’s June 2019 Exhibit will be available every Friday & Saturday from 11 A.M. – 5 P.M. until June 29, 2019.
